Write a letter? Most of us are embarrassed by our own handwriting and wouldn't even know how to start a letter, let alone address and mail one.
But there's good reason to write.
Being apart from the people you love and like best is hard. Texts, phone calls, and social media are great, but they're not the only way to reach out.

If you're feeling bad about your handwriting, it's time to fix that. A bit of practice can improve your handwriting and boost your confidence.
Can you read cursive writing?
Did you know if you haven’t studied cursive writing it can be difficult to read?
Imagine getting a handwritten thank you note or praise from your boss or someone you admire ... and not being able to read it!
Learning cursive writing will fix that.
And, cursive writing could make you smarter!
• If you’re in school, taking a class, or attending a workshop, taking notes by hand can help you learn and remember more.
• Writing by hand requires focus. Learning to focus can help you become a better thinker.
• If something's got you stumped or you've got troubles, writing by hand about what's on your mind can help you sort things out.
They’ll be so happy to hear from you. Really.
It doesn't matter if they live in the same town, the next state over, across the country, or some faraway place. Write to them.
Tell them a story. Tell them you miss them, love them, and want to squeeze them.
And that's not all, when you write, something happens to you, too. It brings the people you write to a little closer.
